"Wh-what is the matter?" asked both the young and old Rostov.

The dinner, both the Lenten and the other fare, was splendid, yet he could not feel quite at ease till the end of the meal.

Pierre absolutely disbelieved both the princess' hints and the letter, but he feared now to look at Dolokhov, who was sitting opposite him.

Both in Petersburg and in Moscow their house was always full of visitors.

Nicholas understood that something must have happened between Sonya and Dolokhov before dinner, and with the kindly sensitiveness natural to him was very gentle and wary with them both at dinner.

They were both particularly happy and gay.

They were both dressed in white muslin with pink ribbons.

Rostov almost screamed lifting both hands to his head.

Rostov, leaning his head on both hands, sat at the table which was scrawled over with figures, wet with spilled wine, and littered with cards.

The stranger's face was not genial, it was even cold and severe, but in spite of this, both the face and words of his new acquaintance were irresistibly attractive to Pierre.

These visits of Natasha's at night before the count returned from his club were one of the greatest pleasures of both mother, and daughter.

"That's not the way, that's not the way, Sonya!" cried Natasha turning her head and clutching with both hands at her hair which the maid who was dressing it had not time to release.

The two girls in their white dresses, each with a rose in her black hair, both curtsied in the same way, but the hostess' eye involuntarily rested longer on the slim Natasha.

Husband and wife glanced at one another, both smiling with self-satisfaction, and each mentally claiming the honor of this visit.

(This meant that the she-wolf, about whom they both knew, had moved with her cubs to the Otradnoe copse, a small place a mile and a half from the house.)

The sounds of both packs mingled and broke apart again, but both were becoming more distant.

He was galloping round by the bushes while the field was coming up on both sides, all trying to head the wolf, but it vanished into the wood before they could do so.

Several times the countess, with tears in her eyes, told her son that now both her daughters were settled, her only wish was to see him married.

He looked and recognizing in her both the old and the new Sonya, and being reminded by the smell of burnt cork of the sensation of her kiss, inhaled the frosty air with a full breast and, looking at the ground flying beneath him and at the sparkling sky, felt himself again in fairyland.

At first she heard only Metivier's voice, then her father's, then both voices began speaking at the same time, the door was flung open, and on the threshold appeared the handsome figure of the terrified Metivier with his shock of black hair, and the prince in his dressing gown and fez, his face distorted with fury and the pupils of his eyes rolled downwards.

A sensation she had not experienced for a long time--that of hundreds of eyes looking at her bare arms and neck--suddenly affected her both agreeably and disagreeably and called up a whole crowd of memories, desires and emotions associated with that feeling.

She sang something mournfully, addressing the queen, but the king waved his arm severely, and men and women with bare legs came in from both sides and began dancing all together.

Only," she thought, "to tell Prince Andrew what has happened or to hide it from him are both equally impossible.

Both Marya Dmitrievna and Sonya were amazed when they saw how Natasha looked.

She sighed, looking toward the door of the room where Prince Andrew was, evidently intending to express her sympathy with his sorrow, but Pierre saw by her face that she was glad both at what had happened and at the way her brother had taken the news of Natasha's faithlessness.

He took Balashev by the arm and crossed the room with him, unconsciously clearing a path seven yards wide as the people on both sides made way for him.

He heard hurried footsteps beyond the door, both halves of it were opened rapidly; all was silent and then from the study the sound was heard of other steps, firm and resolute--they were those of Napoleon.

As there was not a single town or large village in the vicinity of the camp, the immense number of generals and courtiers accompanying the army were living in the best houses of the villages on both sides of the river, over a radius of six miles.

The men of this party had both the quality and the defect of frankness in their opinions.

As they left the tavern in the twilight of the dawn, Rostov and Ilyin both glanced under the wet and glistening leather hood of the doctor's cart, from under the apron of which his feet were sticking out, and in the middle of which his wife's nightcap was visible and her sleepy breathing audible.

We ourselves will not delay to appear among our people in that Capital and in other parts of our realm for consultation, and for the direction of all our levies, both those now barring the enemy's path and those freshly formed to defeat him wherever he may appear.

But all these hints at what happened, both from the French side and the Russian, are advanced only because they fit in with the event.

The battle was fought and thousands were killed on both sides.

As soon as he said this both Prince Vasili and Anna Pavlovna turned away from him and glanced sadly at one another with a sigh at his naivete.

"Yes, always first both on the grassland and here," answered Rostov, stroking his heated Donets horse.

He sighed and pressed on the bench with both hands to raise himself.

Judging by their faces they were both Frenchmen.

Behind, before, and on both sides, crowds of militiamen with bared heads walked, ran, and bowed to the ground.

All this was vivid, majestic, and unexpected; but what impressed Pierre most of all was the view of the battlefield itself, of Borodino and the hollows on both sides of the Kolocha.

Pierre saw that there was a bridge in front of him and that soldiers were doing something on both sides of it and in the meadow, among the rows of new-mown hay which he had taken no notice of amid the smoke of the campfires the day before; but despite the incessant firing going on there he had no idea that this was the field of battle.

In line with the knoll on both sides stood other guns which also fired incessantly.

For some seconds they gazed with frightened eyes at one another's unfamiliar faces and both were perplexed at what they had done and what they were to do next.

On the field between Borodino and the fleches, beside the wood, the chief action of the day took place on an open space visible from both sides and was fought in the simplest and most artless way.

The battle began on both sides with a cannonade from several hundred guns.

To the men of both sides alike, worn out by want of food and rest, it began equally to appear doubtful whether they should continue to slaughter one another; all the faces expressed hesitation, and the question arose in every soul: For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?...

The cannon balls flew just as swiftly and cruelly from both sides, crushing human bodies, and that terrible work which was not done by the will of a man but at the will of Him who governs men and worlds continued.

When she returned to Petersburg both the magnate and the prince were there, and both claimed their rights.

Helene was faced by a new problem--how to preserve her intimacy with both without offending either.

The thought that both her sons were at the war, had both gone from under her wing, that today or tomorrow either or both of them might be killed like the three sons of one of her acquaintances, struck her that summer for the first time with cruel clearness.

On seeing the count the major- domo made a significant and stern gesture to them both to go away.

At that moment this news had only one significance for both of them.

They knew their Natasha, and alarm as to what would happen if she heard this news stifled all sympathy for the man they both liked.

He went along the whole length of this passage to the stairs and, frowning and rubbing his forehead with both hands, went down as far as the first landing.

"Isn't it fine, eh, Uncle Ignat?" said the boy, suddenly beginning to strike the keyboard with both hands.

In particular, the words "I will come back to dinner," evidently displeased both reader and audience.

They were both pale, and the superintendent of police, after reporting that he had executed the instructions he had received, informed the count that an immense crowd had collected in the courtyard and wished to see him.

One God is above us both!--Vereshchagin's words suddenly recurred to him, and a disagreeable shiver ran down his back.

There were many such men both in the shops and houses--but there was no army.

Both the countess and Sonya understood that, naturally, neither Moscow nor the burning of Moscow nor anything else could seem of importance to Natasha.

Both the Russians and the French looked at Pierre with surprise.

His face probably looked very terrible, for the officer said something in a whisper and four more uhlans left the ranks and placed themselves on both sides of Pierre.

What a style! was uttered in approval both of reader and of author.

We can no longer both reign together.

As soon as she heard his voice a vivid glow kindled in her face, lighting up both her sorrow and her joy.

Both letters were written from Troitsa.

In their attitude toward him could still be felt both uncertainty as to who he might be – perhaps a very important person – and hostility as a result of their recent personal conflict with him.

At that moment an immense number of things passed dimly through both their minds, and they realized that they were both children of humanity and were brothers.

Pierre was taken back to his place, and the rows of troops on both sides of the post made a half turn and went past it at a measured pace.

He would often say the exact opposite of what he had said on a previous occasion, yet both would be right.

Natasha almost shouted, taking hold of both his hands with a passionate movement.

Both Princess Mary and Natasha, who did not leave him, felt this.

They both saw that he was sinking slowly and quietly, deeper and deeper, away from them, and they both knew that this had to be so and that it was right.

During the month that the French troops were pillaging in Moscow and the Russian troops were quietly encamped at Tarutino, a change had taken place in the relative strength of the two armies--both in spirit and in number--as a result of which the superiority had passed to the Russian side.

When Grekov returned, Count Orlov-Denisov, excited both by the abandoned attempt and by vainly awaiting the infantry columns that still did not appear, as well as by the proximity of the enemy, resolved to advance.

In both cases his personal activity, having no more force than the personal activity of any soldier, merely coincided with the laws that guided the event.

Moreover, just as Pierre was speaking a sharp rattle of drums was suddenly heard from both sides.

So both those who knew and those who did not know deceived themselves, and pushed on to Smolensk as to a promised land.

Denisov told him of the designs the large detachments had on the transport, of the message Petya had brought, and his own replies to both generals.

Having ridden up the road, on both sides of which French talk could be heard around the campfires, Dolokhov turned into the courtyard of the landowner's house.

Both fell silent, peering out through the darkness at the sound of Dolokhov's and Petya's steps as they advanced to the fire leading their horses.

Cossacks, hussars, and ragged Russian prisoners, who had come running from both sides of the road, were shouting something loudly and incoherently.

Petya was galloping along the courtyard, but instead of holding the reins he waved both his arms about rapidly and strangely, slipping farther and farther to one side in his saddle.

The road along which they moved was bordered on both sides by dead horses; ragged men who had fallen behind from various regiments continually changed about, now joining the moving column, now again lagging behind it.

They both looked pale, and in the expression on their faces--one of them glanced timidly at Pierre-- there was something resembling what he had seen on the face of the young soldier at the execution.

But even if we admitted that Kutuzov, Chichagov, and others were the cause of the Russian failures, it is still incomprehensible why, the position of the Russian army being what it was at Krasnoe and at the Berezina (in both cases we had superior forces), the French army with its marshals, kings, and Emperor was not captured, if that was what the Russians aimed at.

Princess Mary asked the countess to let Natasha go with her to Moscow, and both parents gladly accepted this offer, for they saw their daughter losing strength every day and thought that a change of scene and the advice of Moscow doctors would be good for her.

Beginning with the battle of Borodino, from which time his disagreement with those about him began, he alone said that the battle of Borodino was a victory, and repeated this both verbally and in his dispatches and reports up to the time of his death.

The soldiers surrounded the Frenchmen, spread a greatcoat on the ground for the sick man, and brought some buckwheat porridge and vodka for both of them.

And perhaps they are both impostors?

The more the plundering by the French continued, the more both the wealth of Moscow and the strength of its plunderers was destroyed.

They had evidently both formed the same resolution; the eyes of both shone with satisfaction and a confession that besides sorrow life also has joy.

When two people quarrel they are always both in fault, and one's own guilt suddenly becomes terribly serious when the other is no longer alive.

There was an expression of carefree happiness on the faces of both father and daughter.

Then suddenly turning to one another at the same time they both began to speak.

Having interrupted one another they both stopped to let the other continue.
